It has been well said that there is beauty everywhere, all you have to do is just look around. this holds particularly true when the region in question is leh-ladakh. abounding in scenic vistas, a trip to leh-ladakh in the upper reaches of india is all about snow-clad mountains, rugged landscapes, tall peaks, dangerous routes, and roaring bike engines. For motorcyclists, ladakh offers
breathtaking sights and scenery, including majestic mountains, sweeping valleys, arid deserts, sprawling lakes, vast uninhabited hinterlands, and a challenging terrain comprising both motorable roads and high-altitude passes. it is and has for quite some time been an adventure wonderland for motorcyclists. no wonder then that every biker dreams of doing a leh-ladakh trip at least once in their lifetime.
while they dream of a flawless trip, in reality they have to face a number of hurdles and challenges. the experience of riding in these parts of the country is known only to a few people who choose to accept the challenge. One comes across several buddhist monasteries and high mountain passes with various camping sites that offer a great experience of solitude in the midst of pristine nature.
